The medical center was formerly part of West Coast hospital chain operator Memorial Health Services, which sold the hospital in 2009 after several years of searching for a buyer due to declining revenues. After three other attempts fell through or were rejected by state officials, AHMC Healthcare's $60 million bid won out. The California-based AHMC Healthcare also agreed to make at least $45 million in improvements to the hospital as part of the deal. Following the acquisition, the facility's name was changed from Anaheim Memorial Medical Center to AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical Center. – less
